ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) —
Mediators of the conflict in South Sudan say there is renewed fighting
there between government and rebel troops.
Seyoum
Mesfin, the chairman of the South Sudan mediation process by the
regional block IGAD, Saturday condemned the fighting in Renk County in
the Upper Nile state.
He says the fighting is a purposeful act aimed at derailing the next phase of the peace process.
South
Sudan descended into conflict mid-December when troops loyal to former
Vice President Riek Machar clashed with those loyal to President Salva
Kiir in what government claimed was a coup attempt. There has been
sporadic fighting between the government and rebels despite the signing
of two peace agreements during mediation process in Ethiopia.
More than 1 million people have fled their homes since the conflict began.
